Assume you are the owner of a very large soybean farm in Argentina, a country located in South-Eastern South America. Soybean is a commodity which is traded globally. 70% of all soybeans are used as chicken and pig feed. It has been widely recognised as a very efficient source of protein and energy.

Another use for soybeans is splitting (or crushing) it up into soybean meal and soybean oil – 80% becomes the meal and 20% the oil. Much soybeans are grown in South America (~31% of world total in Brazil, ~18% in Argentina), and demandfor the soybean, soybean meal and soybean oil is growing very fast in Asia (especially China).

One day, you received an unexpected and peculiar call from Zambia (a landlocked nation in Africa). The person over the line identified himself as a procurement officer of Livingstone International. He spoke fluent Spanish and asked if you can sell him two shipments of unprocessed soybeans. His request is large enough to clear out 80% of your annual harvest. The issue is you have never sold on the international front as you have always sold your harvest to the domestic merchants.

Question 1

As the owner of the soybean farm in Argentina, you have never sold on the international front. Research and briefly explain all the possible risks involved if your soybean farm is expanding into global trade. [Hint: Please organise all your research materials into FIVE (5) categories of risks.]

Question 2

What do you need to research about Zambia and Livingstone International in order to assess this new business opportunity for your soybean farm? What is your follow up action pertaining to the business offer from Livingstone International?[Hint: Please separate your research materials and your reflection/opinion in your answers in different paragraphs. You must indicate your final recommendation in the end. ]

Java Chapter 12.29 (Rename files) suppose you have a lot of files in a directory named Exercisei_j, where i and j are digits. Write a program that pads a 0 before j if j is a single digit. For example, a file named Exercise2_1 in a directory will be renamed to Exercise2_01. In Java, when you pass the symbol * from the command line, it refers to all files in the directory (see Supplement III.V). Use the following command to run your program. java Exercise12_29 * can you make a example directory with sample files.. Please type you answer. Thanks

Write a short bash program that aligns with the below functionality.

$ sh ~/cs210_list.sh

  Error: missing argument

$ echo $?

1

$ sh ~/cs210_list.sh /non-exist

  Error: ‘/non-exist’ is an invalid directory

$ echo $?

1

$ sh ~/cs210_list.sh /etc

File: aavark

File: aabbb

   Size: 16

File: aaacccc

File: aaaaddd

   Size: 1585

File: aliases~

   Size: 1686

File: aliases.db

   Size: 12288

...

Notice:

• It error checks that the first argument exists and is a directory.
• It generates an error message and returns a failure code in error situations.
• It only outputs a file size when the item is a file (and not the name of a directory).

Grading Criteria:

In my check, I will ask you to do the following checks:

• If the script has no arguments, it should:
  • Print the following: "Error: missing argument". (5pts)
  • Generate error code 1; Check this by doing the command "echo $?" right afterwards. (5pts)
• If the script is given an argument that points to an invalid directory (example: the /non-exist directory), then your code should:
  • Print the following: " Error: ‘<insert argument here>’ is an invalid directory". Don't forget to print out the provided argument. (5pts)
  • Generate error code 1; Check this by doing the command "echo $?" right afterwards. (5pts)
• Otherwise, if the directory is normal, it should run just like the question titled "Exercise: a simple loop".
  • In short, it should print the name (5pts) and size (5pts) of each file in the directory, in the exact format like above and the prior question.

If you’ve paid attention to the general level of prices of goods and services over time, it should come as no surprise that rising oil prices have an impact on world trade, specifically that higher transport prices serve to act as a de-facto tariff on goods that cross borders. In your opinion, what effect do you think high oil prices could have on U.S. trade with distant countries like China, and will it lead to “Made in America” being the choice of American consumers again?
